It's Monday and that means there is another great sketch over at Let's Get Sketchy! This week's awesome sketch was created by our very own Bev Code!

Even though its the end of January I have a Christmas layout to share with you today. I created this layout using my kit from

3 Scrappy Boys which was full beautiful store products such as Echo Park's -Merry Christmas Collection. You can find everything to make this LO at the 3 Scrappy Boys Store, don't miss out there are some great deals!

Here you can see my cute little birdie!

I used my Spellbinders Dies to make this beautiful red rose.

A closer look at a bit of layers, I really love using foam tape can you tell?

I was a little surprised to find the adorable Family Man
Collection from Echo Park in my 3 Scrappy Boys Kit, after all its January I just took down my tree. So I
put it to the side and thought about it and the more I did I realized this was
a blessing!

I always forget
Fathers Day; I’m always picking up a card the day before or even the day of.May and June are just so crazy for us with
birthdays sometimes I forget… sad I know. But not this year! Thanks 3 Scrappy Boys. This
year I’m ready, because this year I made this cute picture frame with a
matching card!

Diana our Creative Trainer at ScrapFIT has created the most
calming color combo for all of us! While most will think of the beach and
rolling waves I just can’t it’s just too cold here in Michigan. So I thought Snow,
Hey I told you I live in Michigan.

I wanted to just focus on the colors so I stayed
away from any pattern paper, that’s right everything on this page is stamped
all by me. I layered up my background with large white tags that I heated
embossed to give them a pop, and I started layering and distressing and I’m
pretty happy where I ended up. Thanks, Diana for some great inspiration!

ScrapFit has another great for this fabulous color challenge, so make sure to link up your layout by the end of the month, and hey if you just have to have this kit you can buy it right now from Paper Issues.

Thanks for stopping by today make sure that you stop by Practical Scrappers for some great Tag Inspiration before you get to work scrapping.

I can't wait to see what you create for this workout, Thanks again for stopping by see you soon!

Over
atScrapFIT we are working out with the
stars. We want to see a layout or a card that shines bright with stars!

Every
night I tell my daughter “I love you more than all the stars in the sky” and
she replies “I love you more than all the fishes in the sea”… and it melts my
heart every time. So when I was challenged with stars, I couldn’t think of
anything else. So here is my layout with a star focus.

I
used a Kit from Paper Issues that was Jam Packed with Echo Park’s –Everday Electric
Collection.
